As
many infantry squads as we can put out
each with
10 men armed with rifles

In the first game the Americans had 3 platoons and the VC started with just 3 squads on table with reinforcements coming on as usual but they struggled to even get up to the wire so in the next game I reduced the Americans to only 2 platoons and the VC started with 5 squads. This improved the game dramatically and the VC even got over the wire.

For the next three games I boosted them up to 7 squads and they even managed to assault a few positions and in the final game they finally captured the firebase.

About Me

Like virtually every wargamer I know my period interests vary enormously from Ancients up to Modern warfare and most periods inbetween. I have even dipped my foot into the Fantasy and Science Fiction periods in the past. Apart from playing wargames I have also had a number of articles published in various wargaming magazines as well as having a few books published in the past and have spent the last few years helping my mate Barry with the playtesting of his Beneath the Lilly Banners and Repulic to Empire rules and we are currently working on a set for the Crimean War and the American Civil War.
